Twitter users were filled with indignation and their reactions were influential in prompting Snapchat to respond after thousands of inquiries were made regarding its decision to feature the Israeli city as a live story.

Trying my best not to play the Tel Aviv featured story on Snapchat. I know it will boil my blood.

On July 9, the “West Bank Live Story” will be aggregated into snaps forming a day-long video of user-submitted content. It will be styled using geofilters — “special overlays for Snaps that can only be accessed in certain locations.”

On its website, Snapchat encourages artists and designers to create and submit filters for use on live stories. There is no limit but “all images must be original artwork and have to be approved by the Snapchat team.”
